A Spray Bottle is an example of a common atomizer.

Atomization (British English: atomisation) is conversion of bulk liquid into a spray or mist (i.e. collection of drops), often by passing the liquid through a nozzle. Despite the name, it does not imply that the particles are reduced to atomic sizes.

An atomizer (British English: atomiser) is an atomization apparatus; carburetors, airbrushes, misters, and spray bottles are only a few examples of atomizers used ubiquitously. In internal combustion engines, fine-grained fuel atomization is instrumental to efficient combustion.

In some manufacturing process, fine powder is produced by spraying molten or dissolved materials through an atomizer and solidifying the droplets.
